A new player is making waves in the tech scene as the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 SoC emerges with an impressive AnTuTu score surpassing 3 million.

Renowned tipster Digital Chat Station unveils the inner workings of the SM8635, revealing a manufacturing masterpiece on TSMC's advanced 4nm node. At its core, the SM8635 is armed with a powerhouse configuration, housing a Cortex-X4 core clocked at an impressive 2.9GHz. To tackle the demands of graphics-intensive operations, this formidable system-on-a-chip relies on the prowess of the Adreno 735 GPU.
